The great question now agtating the Civil
service Commission and the Democratic party
is how to assess o1ice-holders for polit-
ical purposes without openly violating
the law. Before the law was passed
1t used to be standing ground for
complaint against Republican administra-
tions that ofice-holders were thus assessed.
The virtuous Democrats were won't to
denounce the practice as indecent and out
'agecus, though they could not say illegal,
because there was no law on the subject
Now there is law PROHIBITING the practice,

of the world which waiting for heirs to
come and take possession of them. The
reason for their appearance at this season is,
perhaps, because the attorneys" who start
the stories and show a willingness to prose-
cute the claims of the heirs for liberal con-
sideration, are DESTROYS of spending the winter

only wish to lay in their winter coal.

BISHOP oHATARD's LECTURE.

The Journal has received a. printed copy of
a lecture recently delivered in this city by
Bishop Chatard, of the Roman Catholic
Church, on Tenure of Land and Eminent
Domain" The subject was probably sug-
gested by the DR.. McGlynn episode and the
impulse given thereby among prelates of the
Catholic Church to investigate Henry Georges
land theory. Bishop Chatard's treatment of
it is learned and able, showing the methods
of mind at once disciplined and well
equipped. He regards the subject from a
legal and an ecclesiastical stand point. and
shows by copious citations from writers on
law and on theology that the idea of property
and individual ownership Of land is founded
in divine right as we'll as in human reason.
Eminent domain is shown to be not
the right of government to take or
possess all land, but its RICH of sovereign
control for the public good-a right
which cannot override or obliterate individual
rights, but must respect and preserve them.
This line of thought is illustrated and fortified
by citations from ecclesiastical as well as legal
authorities, and the lecturer says. In conclu-
sion:
Eminent domain is essentially distinct from
the right of ownership, which it excludes from
its very conception, compromising it does
the owner for his property. which can be
seized only for public uses for the public good.
1t is easy to understand, then. how wide Of
the mark they are who confound it with
dominion proper. It would be bad enough to
err in stating the contrary, were such an error
only speculative theoretical. But in the
present tendency of many to apply. this erro-
neous judgment in practical manner,
to take away property from the owner and tax
it to it's full value rent to the state, it
becomes most dangerous error, and should
be guarded against most carefully. for it is
the basis of socialistic and communistic sys-
TENS, which, as learned writer already
quoted, says, ''agree in this, that they war
against property"
The matter Of the lecture is altogether COM
mendable, but we must take exception to one
sentence. The Bishop says: early educa-
ton, surroundings, the influence of theorists,
have their weight in drawing one from the
way of correct judgment; while there are
others to whom the retort of Shakespeare may
be addressed: Much learning doth make thee
mad" We do not find that in Shakespeare.

especially of Judge Gary's ruling on the re-
sponsibility of the public teachers of violence
for the violence they incite A decision of
the federal Supreme Court on that point, sus-
tanning the Illinois Supreme Court, would be
worth millions of money in the assurance of
peace and safety to every community largely
infested with foreign fanaticism.
This is the same confusion of ideas into
which some people allowed themselves to
thoughtlessly drift over the Lieutenant-gov-
ernor case in this State They wanted the
Supreme Court then to assume jurisdiction
it did not have, because they thought it would
be better to have decision by some other
tribunal than the one constitutionally pro-
vided to determine such questions. The dis
astrous effects of such proceeding cannot be
realized readily. II it be understood that
constitutional limitations are to be ignored
by courts, on any pretext whatever, there is
an end of constitutional government and the
substitution of a tyranny by courts The
function of the United States Supreme Court
is defined by the Constitution and the laws
It is not to act a court of appeals from
State courts, upon the merits of cases, how
ever important they may appear to the parties
interested. That court may determine
whether any State law contravenes the consti-
tutional guarantees of the citizen, but it is
monstrous to think that the court can turn
itself into court of review, and determine
whether the State courts have properly ad-
ministered their own laws, or whether State
jurors have reached just verdicts. If that
were to be done. then every convicted murder
er might invoke the court, or, indeed, every
criminal deprived of his liberty. The decis-
ions of the State courts must be final under
laws that are determined to be in harmony
with the Constitution. Any other proposition
would introduce endless confusion and an
archy in the administration of law. It is
strange to see the lifelong adherents of the
doctrine of State rights, not TO say of State
sovereignty. advocate a different proposition
